The great American method of "Correction" is to send those convicted
of a crime to be held apart from society in order to inflict
punishment upon them. One well known method is called Isolation. A
prisoner is removed from any human contact, with the result of low
level, to full out mental disorders.
Another method is the cold, impersonal and often cruel treatment by
prison guards, used to teach inmates that they are subhuman wretched
creatures. Working prisoners at pitiful wages is another method used
to teach prisoners their place. Sending them back into society with a
few dollars and an "Unwanted" brand on their foreheads helps them to
become good, hard working citizens.
And now we learn that the Zoo Keepers are denying prisoners the
medications that will keep them healthy. And some of our citizens
believe that we are a Christian Nation?
I wonder what God does when an angel breaks a heavenly law?

Jailed Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal Wins Hepatitis C Treatment

Abu-Jamal was discovered to have the viral infection in 2015 when he
collapsed into a diabetic shock and had to be hospitalized.
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the state should provide former Black
Panther activist and journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal with life-saving medication
to treat his hepatitis C infection.
Abu-Jamal, convicted in 1981 for killing Philadelphia police officer Daniel
Faulkner and on death row ever since, was given an order by U.S. District
Judge Robert D. Mariani to see a doctor in the next two weeks to determine
if there is a medical reason he should not be given the costly drugs.
If cleared, the state will be required to provide Abu-Jamal with the
newly-developed direct-acting antiviral medication, also known as DDA.
"The struggle is far from over: the DOC will no doubt appeal this ruling.
But a victory!" Robert J. Boyle, a New York lawyer who is representing
Abu-Jamal, said in a statement, outlining his belief that the Department of
Corrections will overturn the ruling.
Bret Grote of the Abolitionist Law Center in Pittsburgh told The Philly
newspaper that the ruling marks the first time "a federal court has ordered
prison officials to provide an incarcerated patient with the new (hepatitis
C) medications that came on the market in 2013."
Abu-Jamal was discovered to have the viral infection in 2015 when he
collapsed into a diabetic shock and had to be hospitalized. Lawyers then
filed to have his medical treatment improved.
The state currently harbors about 7,000 inmates that have the infection,
amounting to a total treatment cost of around US$600 million if they were
to
all receive the new medication.
